I gained great insight into professional business writing and learned so much in such a short space of time... it will really benefit me in the future and is all really applicable to the workplace.

Very insightful course. Tiernan was excellent and I enjoyed both 1/2 days.

This is one of the best courses I have ever attended which is primarily down to the trainer as well as the content.
Tiernan was just incredible. His course was just spot on for the entire duration, even down to the smallest detail. The way he balanced professionalism, learning and fun was just inspiring.

The tutor made it easy for people to open up about their own work... I have more confidence in my writing, and the ability to structure and review written pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

It is helpful for your own learning to bring examples of documents you have written and/or those which you are expected to produce, and we encourage all course participants to do this.

What does Live, Online training entail?

We use Zoom to run our live, interactive online sessions, and each class is secured with password access so only the registered participants can join. We ask you to keep your camera on if at all possible.

You can join through any browser, or download and instal the free Zoom app from www.zoom.us

And if the course is in-person in the classroom?

In-classroom courses are paperless, so printed course notes will not be distributed to learners. Where possible we will share soft copies of notes with you ahead of the course session. However, you are welcome to use your laptop or tablet throughout the course and print notes that are shared with you by the trainer.
